After visiting the emperor and Concubine Yun from the palace, Chen Xu returned home and found that the yard of the Marquis' Mansion was full of dozens of carriages, including two-wheeled ones, two-wheeled ones, four-wheeled ones, and four-wheeled ones. The guards and entourages and grooms who followed were gathered in groups of people in the open space in the yard and chatting, or they were playing dice, making money, making it very lively.

It seems that I can't calm down these two days, and Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mr. Chen, the newspaper office, President Zhang of the Academy of Sciences, Director Shi of the Women's College, Director Huangfu, Supervisor Yang Kun, Secretary Sun, Doctor Xu, Master Yingbu, Marquis of Yinshan, Marquis of Di Dao, etc. came to visit!" The housekeeper of the Marquis's mansion greeted him and said.

"Well, I understand!" Chen Xu hurried to the living room. From a distance, he heard the chat and conversation inside very lively, and even the sound of playing mahjong was heard.

Chen Xu walked to the door of the living room and saw a group of acquaintances inside. Dozens of people wearing official uniforms and brocade robes in various colors were watching and playing mahjong in the middle of the living room. There were endless laughter and scolding. Several maids stood at the door and saw Chen Xu strode and saluted quickly.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

"Hey, the Marquis is back!" With a scream, everyone rushed up and turned around and bowed to Chen Xu to greet him.

"Haha, everyone is exempted from gifts!" Chen Xu bowed and walked into the living room with a smile. After a mess, the guest and the host and the guest sat down.

For those who are following Chen Xu, Yang Kun, Chen Ping, Sun Shujixuan and Huangfu Que, who are following Chen Xu, Chen Xu is their backbone. Chen Xu left Xianyang for two or three months, and everyone felt empty and were careful when doing many things.

As for generals like Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu, Yingbu and Li Xin, their current status can be said to be due to Chen Xu. If Chen Xu had not been able to have their current status and prominent identities.

There were too many people and noisy, so Chen Xu could not ask about the recent situation one by one. Everyone knew that Chen Xu had just returned to Xianyang, so he had not sat for a long time. He had already met Chen Xu at this time. After a simple greeting and chatting, they all said goodbye and left.

After seeing off these people, Chen Xu had just returned to the living room to sit down and prepare to rest. The servant came to report that the two wives had returned from the villa outside the city, so Chen Xu hurried to greet him again.

Ying Shiman and Meng Wan rode Chen Xu's special luxury four-wheeled carriage together, Xing'er and Yu Ji, and the maid guard followed a large group. After getting off the car, there were another lively greeting. Ying Shiman and Meng Wan surrounded Chen Xu from left to right to go to the backyard.

"A few days after separation, my husband looks a little thinner!" In the inner room of the backyard, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan personally served tea and water. After carefully checking Chen Xu inside and out, Ying Shiman gently massaged Chen Xu and said gently.

"I have been rushing for the past few days, and I am indeed a little tired. It's hard for you to follow me back and forth!" Chen Xu finally felt quiet at this moment, leaning comfortably on the back of the chair and enjoying the gentle massage and laughing.

"Although it's hard to travel far, it's also very fun. You can see different scenery along the way. I really want to go back to my husband's hometown every year. Xiaohe Village has a beautiful environment and a simple folk custom, which is much more interesting than Xianyang!" Meng Wan sat next to Chen Xu and said, "Wang gently beat his legs."

"Well, my parents are now staying in Qinghe Town. From now on, they will have to go home or visit at least once or twice a year. After the Dongfang Road is repaired, it will be much more convenient to come and go!" Chen Xu said, stroking Meng Wan's hair.

"Brother Xiaoxu, can you help me make a bamboo kite? Today I saw someone putting bamboo kites on the river beach outside the city, and it was flying very high!" Yu Ji ran in with a lollipop in his hand.

"What is a bamboo kite?" Chen Xu was confused.

"Bamboo kite...Bamboo kite...Bamboo kite is a big bird made of bamboo. It can fly with a hemp rope!" Yu Ji gestured for a long time and said.

"Oh, what you are talking about is the kite, that's simple!" Chen Xu understood what Yu Ji was talking about as soon as he heard it.

"Husband, it is not easy to make bamboo kites. Only craftsmen who are proficient in bamboo and wood can make them. They are also easy to break. They need to ride on horseback to let them fly!" Ying Shiman reminded.

"Sister Shiman is right. The legend of Zhuyuan was invented by the Gongshu Class, a master craftsman in Lu. It has exquisite structure and few craftsmen in Xianyang can make it. My brother has also customized one, so it is difficult to fly..." Meng Wan enjoyed Chen Xu's big hand touching and said with a red face.

"You guys think too complicatedly, it's not difficult to make this thing!" Chen Xu turned around and looked at the early sky outside the window, so he sat up and said, "Let's go and make a kite, and we will take it out of the city tomorrow, which will definitely fly higher than others!"

"Yeah, we can also put bamboo pots tomorrow. I'll tell Sister Xing'er!" Yu Ji cheered and cheered with a lollipop.

Chen Xu brought Ying Shiman and Meng Wan to the outer courtyard and ordered the servants to chop an old bamboo. He also asked someone to find tools such as fine linen and scissors. Finally, he specially ordered the kitchen workers to cook a bowl of paste with flour. Soon, the things were ready, and Chen Xu began to get busy. When the people in the house learned that Chen Xu was going to make bamboo kites, they immediately surrounded and watched.

Chen Xu had never seen Zhu Yuan Chen Xu. He only knew from legend that Lu Ban had made a wooden bird that could fly for three days and three nights. However, it was just a legend. No one knew the authenticity. But it was not difficult to make kites. It was made every year when I was a child. The school also organized kite competitions every spring. Although the workmanship was rough and all kinds of ugly shapes, it was counted if it could fly. Therefore, every time a kite competition, there were all kinds of geometric shapes of round square triangles. Some of them were more exquisite in handwork, and they could also make swallows, butterflies, goldfish and other styles. However, the more complex the structure, the more technology was tested. If the center of gravity was asymmetric, it would generally not fly, and it would break down after a few times.

Chen Xu naturally belongs to the kind of variety with poor craftsmanship, but it does not prevent the kites he made from flying up and flying very smoothly every time.

The simplest kite is a triangle, which is tied into an equilateral triangle with three equal length bamboo pieces.

Chen Xu was very fast. In just ten minutes, a triangle was tied up and three thin linens were tied. A circle of people looked at the triangle in Chen Xu's hand and looked at each other.

"Brother Xiaoxu lies. This is not a bamboo kite at all. I saw that other people's bamboo kite was very big and beautiful, like a real bird..." Yu Ji squatted beside him with anticipation and watched, full of disappointment at the triangle in Chen Xu's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll just do an experiment first!" Chen Xu was also a little embarrassed. He had to use paper to stick the triangle in his head. So Chen Xu asked his maid to go to the study to find a few pieces of hemp pulp paper, gestured it, cut it into the right size, and then carefully dipped it with paste. This paper-paste triangle kite was basically completed.

Then Chen Xu cut out two paper ribbons and glued them on the tail of the kite, tied them with a wire wheel, and finished making a simplest triangular kite, without using it for a total of twenty minutes.

"Mr. Marquis, is this the bamboo kite you made?" a servant asked in confusion.

"Well, how about it? Isn't it very simple?" Chen Xu said with a smile as he held the kite and swung back and forth in the wind.

"It's simple, but it may not be able to fly?" Many people expressed serious doubts.

"Don't worry, you can definitely fly up. Wan'er went to the study to help me get some colorful pigments and ink!" The paste was not dry yet, and it would probably fall apart when it flew. Therefore, Chen Xu decided to beautify the first paper kite in human history.

Soon Meng Wan brought two little maids to bring ink and several colored pigments of different colors. Chen Xu first drew a big black eye on it with black ink, then drew a fish head with red pigment, and used cyan pigment to draw a wavy line as scales. Such a triangular fish kite was all done.

"Help me hang the kite on the clothespin pole and dry it first!" Chen Xu handed the kite to a servant, and then started to tick a second kite. This time, it was a little more complicated, it was a diamond-shaped one. After tickling it, it handed it to a servant next to it with hemp pulp paper, and also had a tail stained, and Meng Wan painted it freely.

An hour passed quickly, and Chen Xu had already tied six kites. Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Xing'er and Yu Ji, and a group of maids and servants started working together, pasting paper, sticking their tails, drawing pictures, and hanging a row of strange-shaped kites on the clothespin rods swaying slightly in the wind, looking colorful.

"It's almost done!" Chen Xu checked and found that the paste of the two kites he had made was almost dry, so he personally acted as a pilot and asked a servant to lift the kite to his head. After he put a few meters of line, he felt the direction of the wind and stood in a good position.

"Let go!" Chen Xu pulled the twine, and the servant quickly let go. Chen Xu pulled the kite and ran in the yard. He felt the kite fluttering in the wind, so he ran and set off the string. As a long paper tail swayed, the triangle-shaped kite quickly flew up in the eyes of everyone.

The Qinghe Hou Mansion is very large, with more than 100 acres of outer courtyard alone, and there are more than 10 acres of places where guests who come and go on carriages on weekdays. However, there are many trees in the yard. Chen Xu pulled the string and threw it out dozens of feet away, and then there was no place to continue running. So the kite swayed left and right and flew more than ten feet high and began to fall.

"Wow, the triangular fish is really flying!" Xing'er and Yu Ji immediately clapped and shouted happily.

Even a group of servants full of suspicion just now were excited. The Marquis was indeed amazing. The bamboo kites made could easily fly with just a few bamboo slices and a few pieces of hemp pulp paper.
Chapter completed!
